Magnetostatic mode and cross-field electron transport
Journal Article

· Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
A zero-frequency magnetostatic mode is shown to exist in a magnetized plasma. This mode resembles the two-dimensional electrostatic convective-cell mode in many ways. Electron cross-field test-particle diffusion due to thermally excited magnetostatic modes exhibits the Bohm-like T/B behavior. This mode would enhance the electron heat and momentum transport and could permit rapid spreading of plasma current.
